Another injury for SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK

by

It looks like Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark is missing it's villain Arachne, according to The New York Times. T.V. Carpio, Natalie Mendoza's replacement, has suffered a neck injury during a recent preview performance of the $65 million Broadway show. Carpio received a neck injury during a climactic battle scene with Peter Parker.

This is the latest in a series of problems for the production. The show was recently delayed again and now writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and director Philip William McKinley have been brought in to get the show up for it's June 14 debut.

If this show ends up opening on June 14 I am willing to bet it will not stay open long. I personally think that they should stop the production now, before any more actors gret hurt. What are your thoughts on the news?

Here is the show's description:

Featuring direction by Tony® Award-winner Julie Taymor (The Tempest, Across The Universe, The Lion King), music and lyrics by 22-time Grammy® Award-winners Bono and The Edge, a book co-written by Taymor and Glen Berger (Underneath The Lintel) and one of the most iconic title characters of all time, SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark is the most ambitious production ever undertaken on Broadway and finds astonishingly fresh ways to tell a story inspired by over 40 years of Marvel comic books. The show follows the story of teenager Peter Parker, whose unremarkable life is turned upside-down when he's bitten by a genetically altered spider and wakes up the next morning clinging to his bedroom ceiling. This bullied science-geek suddenly endowed with incredible powers soon learns, however, that with great power comes great responsibility as villains put both his physical strength and strength of character to the test. SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark will thrill audiences through a unique entertainment experience in ways never-before-dreamed-possible in live theater.
